Date format error
when I load data to spreadsheet through add-in to the spreadsheet having
dates in the european format - dd/mm/yyyy and number format as *dd/mm/yyyy it is displyed wrongly (i.e. my source date is 08/10/2008 as general/text and the data displyed in Excel sheet cell having date format as mentioned above is 10/08/2008) All this works fine if I set the Datatype for column as text which I do not want to do . |

Date format error
If you don't want to set it as text, which is the safest way of avoiding
mistranslation on import (and which allows you to use Text to columns subsequently), have you thought of checking whether your Windows Regional Settings (in control panel) match the format of your data? -- David Biddulph "mahesh" wrote in message ... when I load data to spreadsheet through add-in to the spreadsheet having dates in the european format - dd/mm/yyyy and number format as *dd/mm/yyyy it is displyed wrongly (i.e. my source date is 08/10/2008 as general/text and the data displyed in Excel sheet cell having date format as mentioned above is 10/08/2008) All this works fine if I set the Datatype for column as text which I do not want to do . |
